Blackburn Rovers

Home Park will be the center of attention when Plymouth and Blackburn Rovers face each other in the Championship round 5. The Pilgrims do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team losing each of their last three games in all competitions and given their shaky defence, home win should not be considered. Ireland midfielder Finn Azaz returns to the starting XI after he wa... Read More...

Sheffield Wednesday

Following a shocking EFL Cup elimination to Salford City, Leeds United will look to return to winning ways when they take on Sheffield Wednesday on Matchday 5.

Coventry play host to Watford at their Coventry Building Society Arena on day 5 of the new Championship campaign. The Sky Blues are undefeated in the previous three league matches and a win over Watford will see them move closer to the playoffs berth.

Sunday’s football game between Watford and Blackburn Rovers will bring down the curtain on the Championship round 4.
